Covers an admirable amount of genre-friendly ground before winding up with a funny, suspenseful, and kinetic third act.

First-time writer-director Johnstone's ingenious script consistently wrong-foots the audience and shifts from one subgenre to another without ever once losing its grip on the comedic elements. It's creepy, tense and scary.

Definitely worth getting out of the house to see.

If Housebound is ultimately much more funny than scary, it's because O'Reilly's pugnacious performance runs so counter to the genre's usual treatment of women in peril.

This is a silly film, but it has some serious horror/thriller chops.

Hard to categorize -- horror-comedy? mystery-thriller? -- but lots of fun to watch.

An extremely confident and promising debut.

There's still plenty to enjoy about Housebound, especially with a crowd.

The mishmash that results is by turns creepy, silly, inventive, darkly funny and, at one point, mind-blowingly bloody.

A welcome return to quirky Kiwi horror comedy with a juicy payoff.

First-time director Gerard Johnstone may not possess the wild visual invention of his patron Peter Jackson, but he's ruthlessly proficient at old-school scares.
